There's a lot of later model takeouts that work great since the flat face double Din works super. I have an 03 Ram AM/ FM/CD/Cassette in my 78 Dodge LRE. Have it feeding 4KW amp and 2KW sub under the seat.
When I had my 1st Gen Ram W250 Club Cab, had a Caravan Radio feeding big amps too.
Anyhoo, I like the stock look, but if you like it, aftermarket is great with additional features like BT hands free, streaming etc....
Cheers, Ron
